Hello! I have spotted the very cute stamps from Paper smooches on all kinds of blogs lately and I had to purchase a couple of sets. The animals are so cute and I love the font of the sentiments. I have used the Chubby chums and Sentiment sampler set on both of my cards. I made a pile of animals on my first card with the 5 animals from the Chubby chums set. I started with stamping the dog and then I masked it with masking paper and then I stamped the little chick. I masked the chick and stamped the cat and I went on until the whole pile was stamped. Then I masked the cow also and applied the cloud background with blue ink and a selfmade cloud pattern.

I have used the dienamic fresh cut grass die from My favorite things to cut the grass border from green patterned paper from the Country drive paperpad from Echo Park. The striped paper is from the same paperpad and I stamped the sentiment on it with versamark and black versafine ink and then I embossed it with clear embossing powder. I curled the edges of the striped paper and adhered it onto 2 toothpicks and then I adhered the banner in the hands of the dog.

The second card looks a lot like the first card. This time I stamped all the animals on paper and after I coloured them with pencils and a black glaze pen, I cut them all out. I adhered the owl and cow on the card and used foamtape to adhere all the other animals. I used the dienamic fresh cut grass border again for the grass and this time I added a couple of pink flowers. The sentiment is stamped with versamark and black versafine ink and I made it into another banner.
